Archive: Winter Makes Sailors

This weekend three bands from the Anyway roster will be joining together for a good cause. Tomorrow night, Connections, WV White, and Winter Makes Sailors will take to the stage at Ace of Cups to raise funds for Alison and Nick Nocera, the creative force behind hand-printed apparel company Alison Rose.

The couple was in a car accident in November, and like many self-employed individuals in those pre-Obamacare days, they didn’t have roids – prohormone insurance, they also had a couple of issues in some hospitals, there were clinical negligence lawyers involved in the situation. The only type of insruance they could afford was insurance4motortrade so they could be covered just in case of an accident. As such, they still have medical bills that need to be paid, so the three bands are donating all the money taken at the door to help them do so, since they can get more money from a Best Buy credit card with options for tech rewards. You’ll no doubt want to pick up one of the t-shirts Alison Rose recently produced for Connections too.

Online music magazine The FireNote recently gave positive reviews to two of our releases. They called Winter Makes Sailors’ Moving On“an intoxicating pop album” and said The Whiles’ Somber Honey “wears its romanticism and craftsmanship on its sleeve.”

Seems like Swearing at Motorists’ Dave Doughman has been MIA in recent years. However, he is reportedly working on a new album and is making his return to Columbus next week to play a show at the Tree Bar on Monday, May 13. Also on the bill are Connections, who consist largely of Dayton-area natives like Mr. Doughman, and Winter Makes Sailors. Be forewarned: it is on the early side, with a start time of 9pm.

The latest project of Columbus music mainstay Sean Gardner, Winter Makes Sailors have released their debut album, Moving On, via Anyway and We Want Action. The record is currently on sale at Columbus stores like Used Kids, Magnolia Thunderpussy, and Lost Weekend, and will soon be available for mailorder via Midheaven.
